About getting user data from Active Directory

[Dinçer]

Hi,

I am trying to get user data (email data actually) from Active Directory.
What I exactly want to do is, getting the email address according to
username from the domain.
For example, when I enter my username DINCERM, it should give me
di*****@domain.com as result.

When I do this:
===
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(LDAP://DENIZ);

DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);

searcher.Filter = " (&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(mail=* ))";

===

Then I can get all users with an email address available. But how will I be
able to filter it according to the username?

Thank you..

Dinçer,

I'm not that familiar with AD, but when you set the Filter property, it
appears that you are setting a filter to allow all instances of the mail
property to show up. Can't you just add to that filter for the username
property as well?

Hope this helps.

You need to query on the "SAMAccountName" field
See this example:

DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(LDAP://DENIZ);
DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
searcher.Filter = " (&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(mail=* ))";

You'll need to add (samACcountName=DINCERM) to your filter, and also,
you'll need to specify which attributes you want to retrieve:

DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher("LDAP://DENIZ");

searcher.Filter = "
(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(samAcc ountName=DINCERM))";

// add the mail property to the list of props to retrieve
// you can add any others you might be interested in, too!
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail");

DirectoryEntry deUser = searcher.FindOne();
if(deUser != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Your e-mail is: " +
deUser.Properties["mail"].Value.ToString();
}
